Trail & Ultra Coaching

Deeply rooted in trail & ultra-running, our ultra-endurance coaching is geared towards the time-crunched athlete who wants to take their health, fitness, and performance to the next level.

Below are principles that define our coaching philosophies.  These values are what sets us apart from other coaches who simply write workout plans or place restrictive limits on communications.

  • We only offer top-tier premium service to each of our athletes with unlimited communication & support. We do not offer tiered pricing programs or write one-time training plans.  We do not dilute our mission by trying to offer everything to everyone.
  • We prioritize building a deep personal connection with each athlete through frequent communication. We keep a small athlete roster so we can provide the highest level of support to each individual athlete.
  • Every athlete is “elite” in our book. We work with all abilities & experience levels.  What matters most is that athletes are open-minded, coachable, & dedicated to the long-term process.
  • There are no one-size-fits-all programs. We approach each athlete’s program through a personal lens.  However, we believe strongly in consistency, balance, and structure.  Family, work, and all other aspects of your life are just as important as physical training.
  • Sleep, diet, recovery, strength training, mental health, and self-care are all just as important as running miles.
  • We aim for long-term success versus short term results. Creating a durable body & mind so that athletes can enjoy longevity in the sport is at the forefront of our programs.
  • Logistics, fueling, gear selection, & mental strategies are all critical pieces to race-day execution. Ultras are often 50% fitness & 50% adapting to the curve-balls race day will throw you.

So, whether it’s your first trail marathon or your tenth 100 miler, we are your trusted advisor to provide you with the guidance & tools for your best ultra performance yet!
